[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1848272, member: 46727"] Originally, when Apple first set up 2FA after they abandoned 2 step verification, it (2FA) could be turned on and turned off by going to iCloud with your Apple ID and select/unselect the option. You would then be asked to set up 3 security questions to help verify your identity. Later on Apple changed the policy for 2FA and stated that it could not be turned off after 2 weeks. I'm not sure whether or not it was announced by Apple. Either way, 2FA is here to stay. If you do not wish to use it and already have an Apple ID iCloud account, you won't be forced (as of now) to implement it. However, if you want one of those fancy Titanium Apple Cards, you must implement 2FA. ;) [/QUOTE]
